We can choose to be an Island of Excellence amidst
of the Sea of mediocrity and adversity.

What we think determines who we are. If your
thinking is limited, so is your potential.

Education is the master key that opens the gates of
opportunity.

For
fifteen (15) years of study, finally I have reached the peak. I will be
attaining a degree in which I have taken in the last four (4) years of studies,
the Bachelor of Science in Business Administration major in Marketing
Management in my alma mater, Central Philippine University (CPU) with the
“Scientia et Fides” which means “Knowledge and Faith” vision of the school for
its students and Excellency in education. I am privilege to have my degree in
such a prestigious institution (Central Philippine University) because I have
not only leaned and gained excellent education but also inculcated to me the
Christian Values. Inculcated me spiritually, intellectually, morally,
scientifically, technologically and with cultural training in which I have
strengthened my Christian faith and build up my characters. I have been exposed
to the environment of a highly competitive in every field; it may come with
sports, academics, arts and sciences, etc. since it is a private non-profit
institution.

Since
I was in elementary I have always strive to excel in school. With that I have
brought it until I stepped in the second process in education, the secondary or
high school life. I’d taken both my elementary and secondary education in same
institution located in my home town barangay. When I graduated my elementary I
have received an honor and several awards. Also during my secondary education,
I even strived hard to be at my very best and I guess I have reached it. I have
graduated as our batch class valedictorian and have received all the special
awards as well as a scholarship awards from different institution for further
study. I am very proud of myself and I had made my parents and family proud of
me for all my achievements too. From those scholarships, I have chosen my alma
mater Central Philippine University to be my next home to pursue my education.

In
my entire journey as a student, I have not been able to excel for myself and my
chosen career without the motivation, inspiration and support from the
important people in my life. I am not what I am today if not because of them. I
am always thankful that despite my stand or status in life I have those people
behind my back to support and encourage me to do and be at my best all the time
and I dedicated all of my success to all of those people. Also I am grateful to
the foundation and program of Scranton Women’s Leadership Center that has
helped and provide financial support in my studies and to other scholars too to
continually track and chase our dreams.

Finally
this coming May 7, 2017, I will be receiving with a delightful heart the fruit
of my four years in college my diploma and with additional reward to myself and
to my family graduating with a flying color, that I will be graduating as Cum
Laude. A word thank you might be not enough to express my feelings but I am
sending my warmest and sincerest THANK YOU! to Scranton Women’s Leadership
Center (SWLC) Scholarship for being part of my journey, as well as to all the
people who believed me all throughout. But my journey has never ended yet, it
is just the beginning of a new chapter and I am excited and quite nervous of
what lies ahead after I graduate. But i know that whatever I job or what I will
become in the future, it has already in planned by God. Whatever, Wherever my
feet will bring, I will offer it all to Him, for he have said, “For I have
plans for you declares the Lord, plans to protect you and not to harm you,
plans to give you hope and a future”.
